Wcll,.pnd farmers are still hopeful,
that they may harvest a little over

We learn that Mr. Moore, rcsid-
ing near Enorce river, had his en-
tire corn crop badly damaged by

An Excursion and Sale of Loo

An Excursion and sale OF LOIS
At $50 a. IN. yesterday large num-
Der OF pleAsuTe-seekers and Spectators
boarded the special train OF san Anto-
mo & Arkansas Pass railway, for BOerne,
where the sale Of lots took place in the
afternoon. The train in its gradual as
cent into the mountains, made good
time with It's human freight and in due
time arrived at its stopping place some
distance from town. Many were the
pathways, highways and byways taken
by the visitors across field and fence, to
get the nearest road to town; the Staf-
tel hotel, BOerne hotel, and other places
OF entertainmenE were soon filed with
guests, and at o'clock p. M, the sale OF
lots took place in front OF the BOerne
hotel, from whence fair view could be
had Of the addition to BOerne." The
first two lots brought Sl2O piece, then
figures came down, even some as low as
ten dollars, though one man who had
bought at $40, refused so on a private
offer after the sale. One hundred and
forty lots out of 1877 were sold at vari-
Gus prices, as indicated.
There was also an election for school
trustees In which progress and old tOgy-
ism made the race, the latter winning.
BOerne Is town OF about / 900 inhabi-
tants, has some fine hotels, the BOerne
hotel with % first-class equipped and
appointed rooms under the management
of j. L. Clarke, the Staffell hotel, where
there is nothing left undOne for comfort
and accommodation OF its guests. The
day was pleasant and the elevated lOca-
ton, 1000 feet above San Antonio, gave
stimulus to the visitors, the number OF
which amounted in the aggregate to ar
least 400, nearly all Of whom returned to
the city on the extra train at $3.50 p. m.

A Rumnus in the Club.

The board of directors Of the San An

transacted good deal of routine bust
ness and held late session.
An important resolution was passed,
which is causing great cOmmotiOn
among the ,clubmen, namely, resolu-
ton Wa spassed to enforce the rule TO al
low no ladies TO visit the club rooms ex-
cept during the hours from TO 8 p. M,
of Thursday. Some Of the clubmen
claim this to be an insult TO their la
dies, aud considerable quiet talk is being
INDUCED in by these disgruntled MEM
bers. 1t Is understood that during the
meeting of the directors last night, high
words passed between some members OF
the board.
The new bylaws were also adopted.
There are very few changes in them
from the old rules.

The city school board convened yes
terday afternoon, as per notice In the
LIGHT. All the members but Alderman
Smye were present. The minutes OF the
last meeting, in December last, were
read, corrected and approved, and the
mayor as chairman, suggested that IL
would be advisable for the board TO visit
the schools once or twice per month. ALI
were willing to act on this suggestion
and this will probably be the observance
hereafter.
The application OF Miss Emma Heu-
singer, for leave OF absence until next
September, In order to make visit 20
Europe, was presented and after some
discussion, was refused, as 1t would es-
tablish dangerous precedent.
A petition from Ar. Maggie, a teacher
in the high school, who held a diploma
from the Wisconsin schools. asking that
his diploma be hOnOred In San Antonio
as in other states. where the holder
after eight months experience could
teach anywhere in the state without
formal examination, was filed.
Mr.. Watkins application to purchase
school lands belonging to the schools
was filed.
Teachers aud children of the public
schools were granted holiday on
Thursday and Friday of next week. to
allow them to attend the Sgngerfest.
Superintendent Smith asked for and
was granted leave of absence for a week
to attend the meeting of the Grand
Council Legion of Honor, in Galveston.
His furlOugh dates from the Dineteenth
instant.
Miss Willie Barbee has been assigned
to Mrs. Hans Murphy, Countess Won
Guenther's class.
Gallagher offered resolution to re-
commend the city council to appropriate
an additional $1,000 for the building OF q
colored school on the west side of the
city. This was adopted over the mayors
objection and will go to the council for
action. IL passed, the SUN OF Sc 900 in
oil will be at the disposal of the city for
the erection OF a new cOl0red school,
which is badly needed.

board adjourned.
